India 46-2 (10 ovs) & 687-6d vs B'desh 388 | Scorecard

Taskin strikes again in his next over with the wicket of Rahul, who is caught behind for 10 as India are reduced to 23 for two in six overs.

The pacer has done well to stick to a channel outside the off-stump and bowl to his field. Rahul slashed at the second ball past point for a four but two balls later he perished going for another big shot through the off-side.

Virat Kohli is beaten off the first ball as he also goes for the cut again Taskin but fails to make connection before he defends the last ball.

Despite Taskin taking two wickets, Bangladesh persist with spinner Taijul from the other end, who is merely looking to hold one end up.

Taskin gives Kohli a wake up with a sharp bounce which he tries to pull but is struck on the helmet as it goes over the keeper for a four. Two balls later, he steers it to thirdman for one to get off the mark and Pujara drives the last ball to the same region but this time there is no fielder which helps him get a boundary.

A single each to Kohli and Pujara before the India captain drives Taijul through the covers for a couple and then gets another two runs to midwicket off the fifth delivery.

Kohli keeping himself busy as he turns Taskin on the leg side for two runs and then takes one before Pujara plays a cracking straight drive for a four.

India have lost both their openers early but scored at a good rate to reach 46 for two in 10 overs, stretching their overall lead to 345 runs.
